I once asked a fifty year old woman what she wishes people talked to her about when she was my age (at the time I was 22).
Here’s what she said:
Write down my dreams and goals and go for them!
Be comfortable and happy with myself.
“Fuck” what other people have to say about me.
Always give 100% to all I do.
Don’t just get married because someone asked you to.
Have fun and enjoy my daily journey.
Realize the importance of having a positive optimistic attitude.
Serve God gracefully and love myself and others gracefully.
I am so beautiful and perfect just as I am.
Focus on 1 thing I’m good at and enjoy doing it.
